Can Wisdom Tooth Eruption Cause Weird Sensation In Head, Neck And Ear?
Hi, i am 36 and my wisdom tooth began erupting approx 2 yrs ago after the birth of my child. its partially out and has a piece of gum tissue at the top of it. i have been experiencing these weird symptoms as well with my head, neck and ear, and generally feeling unwell fatigued and weak. I visited the ENT he ruled out infection, my family doctor did cbc, HBA1C,b thyroids and urine all came back normal except the HBA1C came back 6.5. my dentist checked for infection but found none but he told me the tooth will have to be removed. i am interested in knowing whether a wisdom tooth eruption can make me feel so terrible. thank you

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
The pain which are facing in the head and ear could be related to the errupting wisdom tooth.
I would like to tel you that wisdom tooth is the last tooth to errupt in the oral cavity and is often tilted or impacted is position, it is difficult to clean and often leads to food accumulation known as pericoronitis.
I would suggest you to get a checkup done by an Oral Surgeon, take an OPG radiograph and plan for its removal.
Take care!

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
Wisdom tooth eruption cannot give you symptoms of fatigue.Pain in the jaw,neck,while chewing,discomfort are normal.Although infection in the area is absent,pressure on the other teeth from the wisdom tooth can cause these symptoms. This is the reason your doctor asked you to get it removed.
The reason for fatigue and weakness can be diabetes.
Control your blood sugar levels and consult physician to control this first.
Get HBA1c done every 3 months.Go for a fiber rich diet.Cut down on calories and fat.
Maintain tobacco free,non alcoholic healthy life style.
Get the wisdom tooth removal after complete control of diabetes.
hope this helps.
